Cathay Pacific’s cargo division, Cathay Cargo, has signed a contract with Northlink Aviation, which operates the air cargo terminal at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport.
The contract includes the use of the cargo terminal and guaranteed parking spots at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport starting from October 2025.
This will involve the use of the cargo terminal by Boeing 747s, which operate transpacific routes and stop at the airport for refueling, allowing for the processing of exports to the United States. In addition, the agreement grants access to eleven power-through hardstands that do not require towing cars for aircraft parking and departure, and four push-back hardstands. The parking spots are equipped with dual hydrant fueling systems, lighting towers, and ground power units that utilize renewable energy. The recovery and reuse of de-icing fluid will also be possible.
Currently, Cathay Cargo shares parking spots with other companies, which could lead to diversions or cancellations during bad weather. The new agreement aims to minimize disruptions, especially during the winter, contributing to stable operations.
